I have hundreds of csv files for which I'm running a function to shuffle the data in the 6th column and I need to output this shuffled data to a new column inside the existing file. All of the files currently have 6 columns so I need the shuffled data to be the 7th column. The csv files vary in length but all columns within the same file are the same length.
I tried using the code from this question: https://au.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/23723-add-new-column-into-existing-text-file
but I dont understand where to include the new column of data. Also it is from 2011 so perhaps there is an easier solution?
Thank you.
Here is a preview of one of the files:
Unnamed: 0 x y z unixTime mag
0 14272 -0.546875 1.484375 -0.1875 1506448016 1.5929838844916167

I've been using dlmread to cut off the first row of strings (col headers) when I load in the data. Not sure why the values are shifted in the preview

t = readtable('YourFile.csv');
t.newmag = t.mag(randperm(height(t))); %shuffled version of column 6
%any header that was not a valid variable name was modified and the original put
%into VariableDescriptions
hdr = t.Properties.VariableNames;
orig_hdr = t.Properties.VariableDescriptions;
mask = ~cellfun(@isempty, orig_hdr);
hdr(mask) = orig_hdr(mask);
hdr_str = strjoin(hdr, ',');
fid = fopen('NewFile.csv', 'wt');
fprintf(fid, '%s\n', hdr_str);
fprintf(fid, '%d,%d,%g,%g,%g,%g\n', t{:,:}.'); %relies on data being pure numeric
fclose(fid)

Adding a column to a csv file is not as trivial as adding new rows. You will need to read complete file, change the data in MATLAB workspace and the re-write data to the csv file. Here is a general sketch of the code
data = csvread(filename);
% do processing on data, in your case shuffle 6th column and write it to 7th column of matrix
csvwrite(filename, changedData);
